The Impact Of Mechanized Farming In Economic Development

The Impact Of Mechanized Farming In Economic Development

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to probe the impact of mechanized husbandry in the profitable development of Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. The study consists of five chapters. Chapter one was the preface of the study on the impact of mechanized husbandry. still, the significance of the study was stressed in addition to the problems encountered by the experimenter in the course of disquisition. Chapter two concentrated on the review of related while the third chapter was on methodology. Area considered under this section are the population, slice procedures, instrumentation of validity and exploration instruments, system of data collection and system of data analysis, administration of questionnaire. Chapter four was devoted to data analysis. In fact, the experimenter espoused the use of simple probabilities to dissect the data collected by means of questionnaires. On a final note was chapter five, devoted to summary conclusion and recommendations that will help the planter n how to ameliorate on husbandry with the aid of robotization.

Background To The Study

Oredo is one of the original government areas of Edo State. It’s positioned in the western part of Nigeria, and it lies on the rain timber belt of the foliage. Naturally, it’s endowed with rich land for the civilization of crops. Agriculture isn’t only concerned with the civilization of the soil for the product of crops. The main comprehensive description is that husbandry is concerned principally with the husbandry of crops and creatures for food and for marketable purposes.

Mechanized husbandry plays a vital part in Edo State especially in the development of the secondary and tertiary sectors. During thepre-civil war in Nigeria, the predominant occupation in Edo State was husbandry and it was the main stay of the Nigerian frugality. Besides other types of occupation was, these are tutoring, publishing, trading etc but husbandry outplays them all. husbandry can be traced to the foremost traditional societies although yet primitive they frequently gather wild fruits and roots for food and throw off the seeds in their surroundings. Though this process of trial and error, civilization of crops started in the dwelling food and sanctum are introductory musts for mortal subsistence and both began from tilling conditioning, workers in the secondary and tertiary relies on tilling for their final affair.

Also, mechanized husbandry provides commission into agrarian occasion to the labour force through direct employment into agrarian and its interrelated diligence and manufacturing sectors. For this sector contribute efficiently, there’s the perpetration of good operation, marketing, acceptable returns to growers and the better application of land available and provision of storehouse installations. The failure of the country to borrow these innovative practices is responsible for the current food dearths, high prices, mass severance, under application of artificial result of this failure. Indeed though the nation progressed, the proportion of agrarian donation to the gross domestic product becomes thinner because of the predominant peasant system of civilization. The system is also characterized by the use of simple system is also characterized by the use of simple tools like diseases, chemicals and bettered seeds aren’t extensively used by utmost growers.

The poor performances of the agrarian sector to give acceptable food for the growing population declining, productivity of utmost import crops which has contributed to substantial reduction in foreign exchange earnings and the declining condition of husbandry to gross domestic product in real terms. The report of the food strategy charge estimated that in 1982, the force and demand for all food crops was about2.5 million metric tones and the projected gap for 1985 was about4.7 million metric tones. The study group on food product handed more detailed estimate of gaps between projected demand and force for colorful goods. These are presented in table1.1 below projected food force and demand compared 000 metric tones.

As far as husbandry import are concerned, the data available shows that performance of thesub-sector is on the decline. The country has come a large importer of win oil painting for which she was well noted as one of the worlds exporter in former times.

Objects Of The Study

The major ideal of this study is to;

Examine the impact of mechanized husbandry in Oredo Local Government Area.

Identify problems facing husbandry in the development of Oredo Local Government Area.

Propose results to minimize similar problem.

Thesis Of The Study

husbandry should be seen as the life were of profitable development of any nation. Hence, our thesis for this study is stated as increased agrarian product influences profitable development in Oredo Local Government and Nigeria at large. Also, we can state a null thesis as this increased agrarian product doesn’t impact profitable development in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State.

Need For The Study

We all know that the coming of oil painting has created structural deformations and disturbance in the frugality and that on the run, the wheel of their progress can only smooth when the frugality is grounded on mechanized husbandry. piecemeal from the shift of interest as a result of oil painting well, other problems that regard for the decline are conservative station of planter’s poor marketing installations in pastoral area etc. to the stylish of my knowledge this areas has not been completely delved upon hence this study seeks to bridge the gap.

Methodology

Primary and secondary data are used. These involve particular interview, observation and review of published accoutrements in the form of journals, journals, handouts, reports and handbooks, for the purpose of gathering information for this work.

Compass Of The Study

The compass of this design cores the meaning, type of husbandry, impact of mechanized husbandry.

Statement Of The Problem

In this study, the investigator is being guided by the following exploration questions.

Do you carryout robotization husbandry?

Government intervention is demanded in agrarian product in Oredo.

growers have the ultramodern system of husbandry?

fiscal institution give loan without collateral

Purchase ultramodern apply for husbandry.
